Dunbar’s Number

This week Philip takes us through Robin Dunbar’s anthropological proposition that humans can maintain effective and deep relationships with only a finite number of people.  Is his number reliable?  What are the implications?  How feasible would it be to reset education using this number?  

We discuss these issues in education as well as others as they apply to the question of Dunbar’s Number.
